Clos des Papes 1986
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Clos des Papes
The older vintages of Clos des Papes, one of the most iconic estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, embody the quintessence of southern Rhône tradition and elegance. Made primarily from Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, these wines reveal remarkable complexity over time: ripe black fruits and spices evolve into aromas of truffle, leather, undergrowth, and garrigue, while retaining a surprising freshness. Great vintages—like 1978, 1990, 2001, and 2007—demonstrate how the structure, depth, and balance of Clos des Papes allow for decades of cellaring. With age, these wines gain finesse and a velvety texture, offering a harmonious, noble, and timeless expression of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir.
